“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“Trisha reached out ahead of time on video chat and also stopped in for a meet and greet before our booking. She sent pictures throughout the week to keep us updated on our pups, they looked so comfortable and seemed to love hanging out with her. Our home was neat and tidy when we got back too. We love that our furry kids can stay home while we are on vacation vs. going to a kennel & will definitely rebook with Trisha again!”
“A fantastic sitter who truly goes above and beyond. During a storm, a tree blocked our road, and she and her partner helped clear it—an incredibly kind and unexpected gesture. She also took the initiative to restock our dog food, which saved us a trip after a long vacation. The dogs were happy and well-cared for, and we loved the photo updates. We'll definitely be booking with her again! Both of these options highlight the incredible things Lillian did, focusing on her proactive nature and the peace of mind she gave you. They also end on a positive note that makes it easy for other dog owners to see why she's a great choice.”
About: I have watched friends dogs for years. I keep your house clean and i will be out before you come back. I love to cuddle with your pups and don't mind if fhey sleep with me. I also water plants and grab your mail. I am easy going and love to play with your dogs and will treat them as my own. I work full time so i am not able to let them out during the day because my lunch is only half an hour. I am very excited to talk to you and see what we can work out with your precious dogs. If you have cats i will take care of them and clean the litter boxes. Thanks for looking at me. I currently work full time from Tuesday through Saturday. As soon as I leave work I head to your house to care for your animals. I have a cat so I don’t bring your animals home with me. When I am in your home I do my best to keep their routine and care for them like they are my own.
“Casey recently spent three nights house sitting and caring for our older cat. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy and content kitty. Casey went above and beyond, making sure all dishes were washed and put away, linens cleaned, and even took our garbage and recycling bins to the curb for us. She's an excellent communicator, sending us daily pictures and updates about Maggy, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more, knowing Maggy was being so well cared for. We look forward to having Casey stay again in the future!”

About: Hello everyone, I recently graduated from the University of Michigan school of Dentistry and just began my residency here in Kansas City. As a double Wolverine, Go Blue!! Growing up I had a German Shephard and have two Yorkies although they currently live with my parents. I miss them every day so I am looking to direct my love and care towards your lucky dog(s)! I have dog sat for friends and family before and work regularly for Wag maintaining a 5-star rating. I have had plenty of people tell me I am very good with dogs, which inspired me to get involved with providing these sort of services for local dog owners. I am a fairly athletic individual so I enjoy playful dogs and am willing to put in the work to make sure they get the exercise they need. Additionally, I love making sure all dogs receive sufficient affection to aid their emotional development. Our furry friends positively contribute to uplifting our mental health, so I believe they deserve to be held in such importance and treated with respect. Sincerely, Torrey My residency will keep me busy 9-5 every day. I have no problem staying at your residence, having done many house sittings throughout my care career. I typically let my pupper visitors sleep or hang out wherever I am as long as they do no shed profusely and it aligns with their home experience.

“We cannot recommend Edna highly enough! She recently watched our two mini dachshunds, Tux and Moo, and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met her, we could tell how kind and caring she is, and she made us feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care. Edna kept our home spotless while we were away, and she consistently checked in with us to provide updates. She even sent us the sweetest pictures of Tux and Moo, which made us feel so connected and reassured. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved under her care. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them like family, Edna is the person for you. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”

“Melissa was an absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog Riley was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Riley is a very anxious dog, especially around new people, but Melissa made the extra effort to meet her a few times before our trip to help Riley feel at ease. Throughout our time away, Melissa sent us frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for Riley and left our house spotless. Melissa’s kindness and dedication were evident in every detail, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pet and goes the extra mile, Melissa is the perfect choice.”

“I do not trust my fur babies with anyone but Joel. Joel met my doggo with me, before taking the "job". He is kind and caring of my dog's boundaries. She is a Chihuahua and has big Chihuahua personality, walking her with other dogs can be difficult, but Joel gently took care of the walk situation. I have very detailed instructions when I leave. Joel follows the instructions exactly as noted, potty times, food times, play times, bedtimes and just cuddle times if doggo so inclined. I check in regularly as all fur baby parents would. He always answers and gives me updates as to how things are going. He is even willing to face time me so I can see my fur baby. When I get home, my baby is happy, no stress, happy to see me, and obviously well cared for. I recommend Joel as a 5-star fur babysitter.”
